Although mainly about the operation of Victorian Railways (VR) trams and reference to Melbourne and Metropolitan Tramway Board (M&MTB) vehicles, there is a wealth of interesting motor traffic in this film set in a suburb of Melbourne and shot in the 1950's.

There is some explanation about the tram system itself (including some on-board footage) in this clip.
